This is my SPT for now…on Saturday we hiked the pier out to the lighthouse. It was a beautiful gray morning, cool enough for the girls to be in sweaters once we got to the end. The walk is a little bit nerve-wracking for me–a narrow pier, sheer sides, deep water, and a three year old who likes to walk ahead of you, turning her head around to make commentary as she goes. I think if I had my way, and didn’t have to face the scrutinizing of others around me, she’d walk in a helmet and life jacket, and be tethered by a rope around my waist. Thank goodness Mary is content to ride in the stroller. I chose this picture for today because this is one of my favorite things, adventures with the whole family. Dan was there too, but was elected family photographer for this picture. He helps to keep my mom-nerves in check.
